Gotcha. I was thinking short-sided. Agree that this is a good lesson for going forward.
Any building or business seeking rehab permits or a new certificate of occupancy should be held to a new, higher, standard.

Reminds me of the old smoking sections in restaurants.. cram the smokers in one area while other sitting 10 feet away were in the non smoking section. The good old days.

I remember walking through a smoking car on Amtrak back in the 80s. My eyes and lungs were burning, and even with this brief exposure, my clothes stunk.Reminds me of the old smoking sections in restaurants.. cram the smokers in one area while other sitting 10 feet away were in the non smoking section. The good old days.
I'm sure walking through the un-vaccinated section would be equally as pleasurable.
I remember one pub like that, only they put up plexiglass between the sections. There was a door, and while you could see the other side, the glass went all the way to the ceiling. I mean, you could mostly see the other side, through the haze....Reminds me of the old smoking sections in restaurants.. cram the smokers in one area while other sitting 10 feet away were in the non smoking section.

Not sure, but I know you can't make a determination from one county in one state.

When states don't have daily numbers that are the entire 13 month total for this county. It's nice to see your county is managing cases, but this is certainly not happening in higher density and higher populated areas.

This sounds like a good approach.

Biden Administration Looks For Help With Next Phase Of Pitching COVID Vaccines — NPR
In the next phase of the race to vaccinate Americans, the Biden administration knows the government is not the best messenger. So it's asking communities for help.

Tuned into the CDC J&J meeting for a bit. Sounds like a majority are leaning strongly to either reaffirming the current 18+ recommendation, or 18+ with notation women <50 may be at an increased risk of TTS but can choose to receive an alternative vaccine.

Make sense. A decision like that is way above my pay grade and education, but the relative risk seems low if a woman wanted to receive a more convenient vaccine and take the (very, very) low risk. I also wouldn't have been particularly bothered by some type of age/gender selection bias, but the logistics of dose shipment and allocation probably get crazy ridiculous if we were to follow that rabbit hole too far.
What I think nobody really expected would have been a complete pull of the vaccine.
While these folks are convening, can we have them discuss 12-15 year olds and Pfizer authorization? Only kind of kidding.
Looks like masks still get the thumbs up from them though. Sucks for folks wanting both out of the picture last year.Maybe Disney can relax the social distancing now, based on the following study. I've always thought indoor social distancing is a waste of time, being that the air just sits there and gets recycled.
MIT researchers say you’re no safer from Covid indoors at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies
MIT researchers say time spent indoors increases risk of Covid at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies
The CDC and WHO guidelines fail to factor in the amount of time spent indoors, which increases the chance of transmission the longer people are inside.www.cnbc.com

Certainly not a county with a population of around 75,000 spread over 610 square miles.
When it exists in one county alone.

OK... for more perspective....
Our county and 4 other counties that surround ours add up to about 223,000 population. There have been a total of 235 cases over the last 14 days. That is an average of about 16.8 cases per day for a population of about 223,000. I'm just trying to give us all some hope.

When cases look like that (weekly per capita) for a county like Clermont or Warren instead of Scioto. I'm really glad the trend is in the right direction in your area, though! Hope we're not all too far behind.
That is hopeful! I just found that one post a little... dramatic (but again that's rather pot kettle black of me).

Certainly not when it looks like this. By the way Ron says come on down the waters fine....

Yes please, the sooner the 12-15 group is approved the better. We've already has the 16-19 age group reach 16.5% first dose. In 22 days of eligibility here that's a decent rate. The only Pfizer site here has appointments booked until may 12th, Moderna I could book tomorrow so demand is there. Once they do authorize, maybe states will look at limiting the Pfizer to 12-17 for new appointments. They'd be able to knock out the age group and steer 18+ towards the Moderna or hopefully J&J.
Still? STILL? This makes me so incredibly angry.
